Anthony Richards

Theatremaker - actor/director/producer/role-player

I've been Director of Common Players Theatre for ages, working in the space of community and regional touring theatre. Often in collaboration with Exeter Northcott, Bike shed, CEDA, and Fulda, Crediton’s German twin town. I've also directed work with Early Musicians in The South Bank Centre and on international tours. I do a lot of Role-play work with my company Dramatic Improvement, I teach from time to time and I enjoy new collaborations on new projects, often with writers, particularly outside traditional theatre spaces, and outside in the environment.
